Might Guy and Hyuga Hiashi quickly approached, with one fist and one palm, Might Guy's straight punch was powerful, while Hyuga Hiashi fully utilized the advantage of the Byakugan to neutralize and counteract with finesse.
Then, both burst with chakra simultaneously, their movements were so fast that they left afterimages in the air, colliding dozens of times in an instant.
Swish swish!!
Finally, their fists and palms clashed, causing both to retreat a few steps.
"This power, as expected, is strong." Hyuga Hiashi felt a slight pain in his palm and thought to himself.
"But he probably hasn't used his full strength."
Although Hyuga Hiashi had already felt Might Guy's powerful physique despite his age, this level was still not enough to handle the Seven-Swords Ninja.
"Leaf Great Whirlwind!"
Might Guy showed a look of excitement, charging forward again with a high-speed Tornado Kick.
Boom!
Hyuga Hiashi sidestepped just as Might Guy's Tornado Kick was about to arrive, and the large tree beside them suddenly fell to the ground; such direct attacks were hard to hit him, especially with his Byakugan that could see through the body.
Unless the speed was fast enough that his body couldn't react, this kind of attack wouldn't work on him.
This was also why Hyuga Hiashi was confident in maneuvering around multiple Seven-Swords Ninja, the Byakugan which could see through everything paired with the Absolute Defense of Revolving Heaven gave him extremely strong defensive capabilities.
Immediately, Hyuga Hiashi seized the opportunity, coalescing chakra in his palm and fiercely striking at Might Guy's chakra acupoints.
Although it had been a few years since Might Guy last fought with a ninja from the Hyuga Clan, he had sparred many times with Kakashi and had some defenses against abilities similar to the Byakugan and the Transparent World.
At the instant Hyuga Hiashi struck, Might Guy raised his arm to defend, preventing Hyuga Hiashi's Gentle Fist from hitting the correct acupoints.
Smack!
Even so, Hyuga Hiashi's potent palm strike still sent Might Guy flying a short distance.
"Truly a great opponent, I originally wanted to save for Kakashi, but since Kakashi doesn't want to fight me temporarily, I'll test it on you first." Might Guy laughed heartily.
Under normal circumstances, he would try once more using the Konoha Dragon God to force Hyuga Hiashi to reveal more information.
But Might Guy hadn't fought for over a month, and he genuinely wanted to feel the power of the Breath of Rock Chakra Mode again.
Rarely encountering a Taijutsu master like Hyuga Hiashi, Might Guy was already itching to fight.
"Breath of Rock Chakra Mode, activate!"
Might Guy clenched his fists, eyes glaring, his breathing concentrated to the extreme, entering a state that's hard to describe, and his body rapidly transformed with each breath.
Strength.
So strong.
This was Might Guy's first feeling in his mind.
This was his second time entering the Breath of Rock Chakra Mode, the first time was during a race against time battle, so Might Guy didn't have the leisure to feel finely. This time, Might Guy had the capacity to carefully observe the changes in his body.
The Concentrated Breathing of the Breath of Rock was the breathing technique most noticeably enhancing the body, and the Breath of Rock Chakra Mode took this to the extreme. Now, Might Guy felt he could punch a rock to pieces without using chakra.
"Indeed, I had withheld much strength." Perceiving Might Guy's aura, Hyuga Hiashi's expression turned solemn.
The current Might Guy gave him the impression of a human-shaped beast, completely different from Might Guy with the Five Gates initially.
"Leaf Whirlwind!"
Might Guy erupted with chakra, suddenly stepping forward, his powerful leg strength leaving a crater in the ground.
Swish!
Hyuga Hiashi saw Might Guy coming with a kick, but before he could finish his evasion move, Might Guy had arrived at his side, forcing Hyuga Hiashi to gather chakra and raise his arm to meet.
Bang!
A muffled blow sounded, and Hyuga Hiashi flew out like a launched cannonball, crashing into and breaking several large trees before stopping.
"Each one more frightening than the last." Mimura Hamaki shook his head and said.
Examining a candidate like Might Guy would really be troublesome, this strength far exceeded a normal Chunin.
Not to mention Chunin, with Might Guy's kind of power, there were truly not many in Konoha who could say they'd win in a one-on-one fight with Might Guy, each one known for their fame.
Speaking of Ninja World-class, of course, like the Third Hokage or the Sannin, these powerful figures could easily crush Might Guy. Then there's Namikaze Minato and Habu Mokgetsu, with proven combat records during the war, who could also destroy Might Guy, and even Teacher Chen of such level of ninja, who could win, but the process wouldn't be easy.
Even those like Teacher Chen, at the lower tier, earned the name of Konoha's strongest Taijutsu master, demonstrating the terrifying level of Might Guy's current strength.
Might Guy pressed his advantage, after gaining ground, he increased the intensity and gathered more chakra to use a stronger Tornado Kick.
"Leaf Strong Whirlwind!"
The Strong Whirlwind was currently the most powerful in Might Guy's Tornado Series. If struck by this kick, the cost wouldn't just be a few broken trees.
"Eight Trigrams Palm: Revolving Heaven!"
Hyuga Hiashi directly gave up dodging and used the secret technique claimed as the Absolute Defense by the Hyuga Clan.
Revolving Heaven was not just about defending against incoming attacks so simply; it was essentially a high-speed rotating chakra ball like a spinning top, hence it could also reflect the attack back, although limited to physical attacks.
Bam!
Might Guy's incredibly heavy Tornado Kick struck the chakra ball with a loud noise; in the next moment, the enormous force from the chakra ball's high-speed rotation rebounded Might Guy, returning Might Guy's leg strength back.
